He lauded CMR Institute of Technology for remaining committed to its founding belief that technical education must create not only skilled professionals but also responsible citizens and ethical leaders. He expressed happiness over the Institute being accredited with the highest A++ grade by NAAC, and inaugurated the Incubation Centre and the Auditorium on the occasion.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><strong>Recalling his own experience as a Governor, the Vice-President said he had consistently emphasised improving the grading and quality of educational institutions. He noted that poor institutional gradings were often the result of vacant faculty positions, and that strengthening faculty capacity directly enhances academic standards, credibility and public trust.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><strong>Addressing students, he advised them to set clear goals and move towards them at their own pace, without comparing their journey with others. While luck may not favour everyone at all times, he said, hard work and sincerity will invariably yield success, if not immediately, then certainly in due course.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><strong>Referring to India\u2019s innovation-driven growth, the Vice-President said the country is no longer merely an adopter of technology but is steadily emerging as a creator of technology. He recalled that when Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi gave a clarion call to India\u2019s scientists during the COVID-19 pandemic, the nation rose to the challenge and successfully developed its own vaccines, demonstrating India\u2019s scientific capability and self-reliance. Highlighting initiatives such as Digital India, Startup India and Make in India, he appreciated CMRIT for nurturing over 50 start-ups through its Innovation and Incubation Centre, contributing to a vibrant and resilient entrepreneurial ecosystem.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><strong>The Vice-President said that educational institutions are the guiding light for the youth and play an indispensable role in shaping the nation\u2019s future. He\u00a0said that the goal of a Viksit Bharat @2047 is to build a strong and powerful nation not to dictate terms to other countries, but to ensure that no one ever dictates terms to Mother Bharat. He emphasised that national strength must rest on self-reliance, knowledge, innovation and moral confidence.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><strong>Referring to the National Education Policy 2020, the Vice-President said it provides a comprehensive roadmap for India\u2019s youth to face future challenges with confidence, encourages multidisciplinary learning, and remains deeply rooted in Indian culture, tradition and ethos.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><strong>The Vice-President cautioned students against all forms of addiction and urged them to remain vigilant against the dangers of substance abuse. He called upon the youth to say \u201cNo to Drugs\u201d and to encourage their peers to do the same.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><strong>Describing the Silver Jubilee as both a milestone and a moment of reflection, the Vice-President said it is an opportunity not only to celebrate achievements but also to renew commitment towards serving society better, innovating responsibly and remaining relevant without losing core values. He expressed confidence that CMR Institute of Technology, with its strong foundation, visionary leadership and youthful energy, will continue to contribute meaningfully to India\u2019s journey towards a Viksit Bharat.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><strong>The Governor of Karnataka, Shri Thawarchand Gehlot; President, CMR Jnanadhara Trust and Chancellor, CMR University, Dr. Sabitha Ramamurthy; Chairman, CMR Group of Institutions, Dr. K.
